Anyone a fan of Duncan Sheik?
Just picked up his new CD (released yesterday) called White Limousine and it's great to see that he's stayed consistent musically.
I still think that Phantom Moon is his best, but Limousine delivers yet another moody, ethereal set of tracks written by a VERY underrated singer/songwriter.
I'm spinning it for the second time right now and can say that it'll definetly stay in my player for some time.

I loved his first album! Lots of great songs. After that, his second album to me was a letdown, and I haven't ever gotten around to picking up anything more. One day...

I'll admit myself that as a Sheik fan Humming was a bit off course from the rest of his stuff. It's the only one of his albums that's mostly up tempo and less emotional. I personally like it when he's got that ethereal acoustic sound.
Daylight is also an excellent album. Very reminiscent of his first CD.

I scanned the new album, and may yet pick it up - but sounded fairly different from his earlier work. The title track was the one that grabbed me the most.
I like Humming. Particularly, "Bite Your Tongue", which is one of his best songs.
Phantom Moon is good, as well, considering it's essentailly a Nick Drake tribute - and you can never go wrong with anything Nick Drake related.
Still think his debut is his best, though.
I've also got the very rare promo only ep - At The Resevoir - on which he does a fantastic cover of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees". Well worth having if you can still track down a copy.
